New Jersey Man Pleads Guilty To Intending To Distribute Crack And Heroin

The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Grant C. Jaquith; James J. Hunt, Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration; and Chief Patrol Agent John C. Pfeifer, United States Border Patrol, Swanton Sector.

As part of his guilty plea, Reyes admitted that while in Ogdensburg, New York, he possessed a bag that contained approximately 58 grams of crack, 5 grams of heroin, and 135 grams of N-ethyl pentylone, often marketed as “Molly,” all of which Reyes intended to distribute. The bag also contained a handgun.

United States District Judge David N. Hurd will sentence Reyes on February 22, 2017. Reyes faces at least five years and up to 40 years in prison, a term of post-imprisonment supervised release of at least four years and up to life, and a maximum $5 million fine.

This case was investigated by the United States Border Patrol and DEA, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cyrus P.W. Rieck.
